Introduction

Many people, visiting the manor house, are shocked, and deservedly, offended by the current state of this unique historical building and national cultural monument. When I first visited the building in 2008, I remember the encounter as if it happened today: I was standing inside of the manor house, on the ground floor in one room, looking up to the open skies - there were no ceilings on the first and second floor, with missing roof which had collapsed a few years before my visit over the entire northern tract of the manor. The same year, my father, myself, with the support of the mayor of the village initiated the construction of a new roof. And we succeeded to restore the roof and the statics of the building. The worse was avoided - because we covered the manor house again, all building was stabilized and fortunately, no immediate further destruction threatened. I am very proud of this - maybe we saved one beautiful, almost 500 years old building full of history, from its full destruction.

​

So, the manor house was stabilized in 2008, due to the new roof. But a massive destruction was made before my arrival - I am so sad, that I could not come earlier. Many parts of the building are irreversibly gone - plasters, windows, many beautiful renaissance ceilings are lost for ever.
